🚨 Gaza Children Show Unprecedented Trauma Symptoms After War
Dr. Nawal Asqoul, a psychiatrist in the Gaza Strip, reports encountering unprecedented psychological and physical symptoms in children following months of Israeli attacks.
She says no academic training prepared her for what she calls “strange illnesses and stranger symptoms,” emerging in children who survived bombings or lost entire families.
Dr. Asqoul is now treating children suffering from intense trauma that manifests physically often in those who survived alone while parents or siblings were killed.
With hospitals overwhelmed and services collapsing, she has opened a small therapy center beneath her home in Khan Younis southern Gaza Strip , offering support to traumatized children despite severe insecurity and shrinking resources.
